This is going to sound riiculous, but it has nonetheless made me upset. My mom is a very good cook, and she normally makes her own pasta sauce when we have pasta for dinner. However, if we are just having pasta (i.e. just my sister & I) as a quick meal, we just have sauce from a jar. I never really liked the one from the jar we used, but I just went to my cousins and found a different one I love. After looking in FIVE stores my mom found it. I have been waiting weeks to have it again, & my mom finally made pasta again tonight! When I asked her what sauce we were having, it was the new one from the jar, and I was SO EXCITED. Then all of a sudden (hours later) I am in the kitchen & see my mom unfreezing her own pasta sauce. I said to her "I thought we were having the new one tonight" and she replied "oh we were, but then I asked your sister if she would prefer that sauce or mine, and she said mine." I was very mad at this...it's not that I don't mind having my mom's (it's really good) but I have been waiting for very long to have my new sauce & then my mom decides not to make it because my sister wanted someting different. I guess it not only disappointed me that I wasn't getting to have my sauce, but also that because my sister wanted my mom's sauce that's what we were having. It was like it didn't matter what I wanted, only what my sister wants. How should I handle this? Just wait until next time I have pasta, or say something? I don't want my mom to think I don't like her sauce either by insulting her.

and if your mom doesnt want to do that then ask her if she could go with what you want one time then the next have what sauce your sister wants.
and make sure to keep track so no one gets in an arguement.

rikatree2375 answered Monday August 1 2005, 7:41 pm: It wasn't exactly right of your mom to do that. Maybe you should mention that you would have prefered the other kind. Ask her if next time she could make what you like and see if she agrees. Point out that she made what your sister liked first so now it's your turn. I'm sure she'd understand as long as you're nice about it. Hope i helped!!!
